At the same time, he claimed he felt uneasy and quite uncomfortable. He saw the whole room turning with everything inside becoming unstable and unreal. After this experience, Samuel had overwhelming fears and did not know when he left the room. Two days later, he discovered he was with his younger sibling in south-western Nigeria. Samuel had no knowledge of how he made the journey that takes approximately eight hours by road. He equally could not remember where he slept the night he left his room, how he raised money for the journey, or the buses and routes he took. Samuel denied all memory of events for the 2 days from when he left his room at the university to the time he suddenly realized he was at his brother’s house, hours away. The brother, however, reported that Samuel appeared unkempt, and looked exhausted but was fully conscious and alert on arrival at his house without any assistance. Prior to this episode, Samuel had been under severe economic and academic pressures and had been worried that he might fail his final qualifying examinations in 3 months. He slept poorly at night, with his sleep had been marked by early morning wakefulness and waking up not feeling refreshed.
